Do you guys know the the weight difference between the Cummins and the Toyota engine is?

 

[scottryana]

I would guess about 220-300lbs?

I added the WagonGear antenna mount and a 3' firestick. Still have to get a spring for it but I do not plan on wheeling in the next week. I added the coax, the am/fm coax adapter last week and have been waiting for the kit from Kevin. Now I finally have my radio stations back and a sweet WagonGear sticker on my Cruiser.

Cummins comes in around 850-1000 lbs depending on the model. I have no idea what the Toyota 4.5 weighs.

Nice job. I need to just get some plate and fab something up and learn to use my father in-laws gas welder. Did you do a writeup or have dimensions? What did you use for a spindle on the swing?

 

[vladi80]

Is the light output green, or is that just the pic?

its a combination of amber lens covers and my old phone.

finally wired up a new antenna for the satellite radio, old one got beat up by the uv rays.

Actually a bumper plan I got from @bowtiestang's bumper build. A little different in some aspects but dimensions are the same. As far as the swingout I used one from AtoZ fabrications

I'm more interested in the ride and noise of the Cooper STT Pros.

I never did find the leprechaun. I did however teach the kids that you can make a poor decision and it is a lot of work and time but you can still succeed.

. I hate mud. But hours of winching and digging and finally!

. I can say that it was perfect day. Beautiful. Challenging. Spent with my family and not a thought about work which has been stressful lately.

Actually mastercraft. I love them. Don't have anything to complain about. About to move up in size but sticking with the same tire. Love the off-road capability too. Haven't let me down yet

Got the 4.5 some new shoes. Coopers weren't on my radar until I ran across some positive reviews; the price is hard to beat. 285s on original springs.

Also built a 3D model for upper center console storage. Slot for a small moleskine notebook, tire gauge and garage door opener. Not sure it will actually help clean things up in there but it was a fun way to get my feet wet in 3D work. Now I need to send it to work with to get printed.

Built and installed new seat bottom foam! Long time in coming, a welcome relief in the cruiser.

Definitely looks like it.

Found snow and a stuck jeep on 33s who was happy to see a locked truck on 40s
